The Lengsno, emrn,s strike.

New YORK, Jan. 3l.-An official order
was issued yesterday at the longshore-
mems convention ordering out the mem
Tbers of several unions to the number of
$4,000 1t had very little cNact on the
business at the East river piers today
| n most cases the order covered unions
whose members were salready out 1t Is
stated that there was little or no change
in the situatian of affairs on the New
York side of East aiver. The uFmher Of
non-union men at work is large in
ing.
New YORK, Jan. 3i-The strike took
a new phase today. 1t not only involves
the additional longsboreman who went
ont this morning, but also the freight
handlers OF the railroads thus tighten
ing the blockade on transportation and
adding another thousand to the thou
sands already idle. Apparently as by
preeoneerted action, the committees OF
freight haudlers of a number Of roads
today presented formulated demands on
the management, and it Is understood
that similar demands will be made on
the managers of all roads leading into
this city. The freight handlers of the
Pennsylvania Railway Co. employed on
tAo company's North river piers, today
notified the managers that, unless the
rate oi wages was Increased from u to
20 conts per hour, general strike would
fog'ow ali aion. the company'S docks.
The company was given until tomorrow
noon to consider the demand. There
are about 1000 men employed on the
piers.

Dandided French Sailors.

Going down the harbor a day or two
since l was struck with the graceful ap-
pearance of the great French ram, which,
with its long white hull and backward
sloping masts and mokestack, looked ex-
ceedingly rakish. As a general rule, the
new ironclads are cumbrous looking OBJ
jects, but the French man of war APP
peared as light and airy as il she had not
been built upon modern scientific princi.
Piles of opposing great resistance to the
enormous ~projectiles of advanced gun
merry. / looked with admiration on the
graceful lines Of the ram, and thought
that il a vessel had to be run down by
another there would be a certain satisfac-
ton in having the operation performed
by such a keen and penetrating PROV.
The French sailors whom l saw pulling
from one Of the wharves to their ship
looked as 'trig'' as their vessel, and yet
there was a lack Of that salty expression
about them which is 30 noticeable in the
British and American man-o'-warsman.
Somehow the sea does not seem to be the
element for the Gaul that it is for the
Saxon, and / would rather risk my .'tim-
bers'' in an inferior fighting machine
where the hearts were of oak and the will
of iron.-''Taverner' in Boston Post.

Profes.or Gray,s felautograph.

Professor Elisha Gray, of telephone
fame, Is perfectipg an invention with Won
derful possibilities, and one which prom
ises great results. 1t has already reached
that stage which insures its practical sue
Cess, the experiments thus far proving
eminently satisfactory. The 'telauto-
graph" is the name by which the instru
ment viii be known, which, by the way,
conveys a very fair idea Of what the in
strument really Is. Once In operation it
win be possible for the Chicago Spectator
20 deliver to the New York broker a telau-
Geographic order to buy or sell 1000 or TO-
900 shares of railroad stock, an exact fac
simile of the order being Reproduced in
that city at the same instant IL Is written
here, 1.-THE Chicago man happens to be
IN New York and wants to send his wife
o check for money he simply writes IL out
In that city, and the moment he is through
It Ii in his wife's hands here. The cleo
tric current, of course, is an important
factor in the invention, but the chief feat
ure IL the plate or instrument on which
the writing is done. No particular kind
of pen or pencil has to be used; in fact, q
sharp pointed instrument of any kind, or
ever q piece Of wood, will answer the pur-
pose. The paper on which the writing is
done and the autograph reproduced does
not have to be prepared, for in the first in
stance 1t is the pressure on the plate
which gives the impulse to the machine,
while the reproduction is brought about
by q tracing point, which may be q
properly linked pen or even an ordinary
lead pencil attached to a movable arm in
the receiving machine at the other end Of
the line.-Chicago Tribune.

light for In.tantaneou. Photographs.

At a recent meeting of the Berlin Ply
steal society Professor c. W. Vogel COM
municated the most recent discovery in
connection with instantaneous photogra-
ply, by which it is now possible to obtain
instantaneous photographs not only at
night, but also in the darkest places.
Messrs. Goedicke and Miethe have pre-
pared a mixture Of pulverized magne-
stun, chloride Of potash and sulphide Of
anthony, which when ignited produces
an explosive, lightning like illumination
Of such intensity that by means of il an
instantaneous photograph can be taken.
The speaker then gave q demonstration
Of the discovery by taking photographs
Of several persons present. He used the
artificial light, Of which each fash lasted
~one-fortieth Of a second, and in a few
minutes produced Q picture during the
meeting. The powders, as prepared by
the DISCOVERIES, cost only a few pfennigs
each, and will hence readily come into
general use. Scientific American.

Guarding Rank Note Piates.

These plates are surrounded with i'm
p~enetrable safeguards. The large room,
nearly the full length Of the building, is
occupied by only the engravers at the
windows, Mr.. 0'Neil, the chief engraver,
and the custodian. On M side of the
room is a railing and wire screen, such as
are seen in banks, behind which are the
desks of Mr.. O'Neil and his bookkeeper.
On the other side of the room, at the door
Of the vault, is a similar inclosure, where
sits the custodian Of the plates, dies, rolls,
and other property. When the chief en-
graver comes in the morning he makes a
requisition upon the custodian for u OF
these precious bits Of steel as he wants.
Each piece has its name or designation,
whether it is q bit Of lathe work, q
vignette, or an entire plate, and when
they are surrendered to the chief en-
.graver upon requisition IN entry is made
upon the books Of the custodian. The
b~ookkeeper or custodian for Mr.. O'Nel
makes an entry on his books also, to
show what he has received. Then, a the
engravers want the different pieces Of
work, a similar account Is kept with
them, and no man can leave the room
until the books show that every piece Of
engraving that he had in his possession
has been returned, and he has a note
from the chief engraver to show that
such is the case. The watchmen would
not let them out Of the building without
this. When a bell sounds at noon the en-
gravers go to lunch, but not outside the
building.
When the work Is over for the day the
accounts between the chief engraver and
his s~ubordinates are balanced, to show
that each has returned all the work placed
in his custody. The rolls and dies and
plates are returned by the chief engraver
to the custodian from whom he got them,
and il no piece is missing his requisition
Is returned to him, and the property
locked in the vault for the night. Should
it ever happen that anything was missing,
even if il were but the smallest fragment
of engraving, no one would be permitted
to leave until it was found. A complete
record is thus kept of every piece, SO that
you can tell Just where it was at any
time, how long it was in any ones u s
tody, and what he had it for.
1--WE know said Mr.. O'Neil to a re-
porter to whom Chief Graves had ex.
tended the freedom Of the building, "we
know that whatever may be said about
counterfeits being printed from govern
ment plates, that there nev was n so
printed. There never was a plate stolen.
There is no plate that has ever been made
that is not in the vault there, and every
one can be accounted for for every min
ute of time. You cannot name a little
out of the way national bank but that we
have the plate for its notes in that vault,
and can tell you all about il, from the
names of the men who worked on it to
everybody who has ever touched it at any
time. "-Washington Star.

A gentleman Of leisure stopped recently
near n Of the coffee and pie stands that
abound down town In the neighborhood Of
large employing establishments with the
purpose Of a~scertaining what the boys and
girls ate and drank at their monday lunch.
30 soon a. the whistle blew for ~ o'clock
he found the stands swarmed and more
coming. Many of the boys and girls came
kettle in hand, which was filed with
either coffee or milk, and after a light
purchassAof pie or cake the lunch was car
fisd to the shop for consumption. The
milk Is necessarily good, as it wouldn't
pay the proprietor Of the stand to have it
Otherwise, and have an inspector with his
1nctometer to discover II. The coffee is
not subject to oficial suspicion, and there
fore is generally worthy of doubt. The
pies, he fancied, must be good, as they are
supplied by great manufacturers who turn
fhem out by the thousands and can afford
70 put palatable works" Of varied in
gradients into them, Is by buying fruits
and berries and sugar In big quantities
they get them very cheap. As to the crust,
a isn't any too rich. The cakes were dry,
and what nourishment the girls that eat
them obtain from the peculiar food is o
puzzle. One accomplished young lady,
who boosted Of a thick bang, when ques-
toned on the subject, replied: ''oh, we
soaks EN-" A boy called for q piece Of
rhubarb pie, and washed it down with o
glass Of lemonade. He took his lunch
after the style of other gentlemen-those
who patronize down town D~elmonico's,
Nash & Crooks and the Aston house. He
ate from the counter and called for his
check. Possibly he tipped the waiter, too.

wouidn,t Sell His Drunk so Cheap.

Standing in the lobby OF o hotel in Ban
Ror not long ago l got into conversation
with q gentleman who was representing
o medical apparatus with q long Greek
name. II is not my intention to give the
arrangement for vapor baths a puff, but I
do want to describe a rather funny incl
dent that followed u conversation. My
companion had Just been describing to me
how his process would sober of in half an
hour a man on the verge Of delirium
tremens, and how many men never
thought of going home TO their families
without having recourse y his machine.
While we were talking a man, evidently
very much under the influence Of too po-
tent hbations, came In, and, leaning over
Che counter, began a rather thick CONVEX
sstion with the clerk. We sauntered over,
and soon were on the best Of terms with
the devotee Of Bacchus. After a while
the man said he wished he could taper of
and go home. Here was an opportunity,
and the machine above referred to was
explained to him. Five minutes later he
had staggered up stairs, and stood ready
20 be cured. His coat was already of,
when a drunken idea seized him. ''Shay,
what er tn cost Of q bathr' he asked.
1.-TWO dollars" was the reply. ''Well,
hic, this DRINKS cost t'enty dollars, and
